HORTENSE H. YOUNG TO RUN FOR BOARD GIVEN PLEDGE OF ACTIVE SUPPORT BY MANY LEADING ORGANIZATIONS Mrs. Hortense H. Young, in a statement to friends who have solicited her candidacy for the Board of Education in the November election, said this week that she will be persuaded by the interests of those whose names appear on petitions given her to be a candidate for election to the school Board this fall. Mrs. Young, whose continued and sustained interest in civic affairs in Louisville has made her one whose services were "conscripted" for this important post, was presented a petition containing approximately 1500 names at a meeting of the Executive Board of the NAACP last April. Several organizations have expressed willingness to actively support her candidacy and one, the Kentucky Bureau on Negro Affairs has gone on record as the first to give its active support and to work earnestly in the community for her election at this time. There are three vacancies on the Board of Education to be filled in the November election. No Negro has ever been elected to the Board. Mrs. Young came within 274 votes of being elected in the 1946 School Board Elections. Mrs. Young is a former president of the Central High School PTA, a member of numerous organizations including the National and Louisville Urban League, National Conference of Christians and Jews, NAACP, League of Women Voters, and the Jefferson County Sunday School Association.
DEFENDER EDITOR SUED FOR DIVORCE
Charging that her husband has been guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment," Mrs. Mary Martin, wife of Fletcher P. Martin, city editor of the Louisville Defender, filed a petition of divorce against the local newsman last week.
(Martin was a war correspondent for the Defender during World War II, and accompanied for his paper President Truman on his westward trip during the 1948 presidential campaign. He was the first Negro to receive a Nieman fellowship for a year's study at Harvard University).
The petition filed in the Jeffersonville Circuit Court, June 28, stated the couple was married August, 1945, and "lived together until June 24th, 1950." They have two children, Peter, three, and Patricia one and half years old.
Mrs. Martin in the brief, declared her husband "not the fit and proper person to have care and custody of the children."
The petition stated the couple own property at Watson, Route 2, just a few miles out of Jeffersonville, Ind., valued at $6,000. Mrs. Martin asked support of herself and the children and half the sum of the total property value as settlement.
